How would GPL limit the wide use of these scripts? I find it's ok that any 
derivative be licensed the same way. It doesn't force a using software to be 
completely under GPL, just the derivative scripts of those scripts. It seems to 
me that the fact that PL/pgSQL is open by nature makes it very easy to 
redistribute these files or any derivative with the same license without 
limiting the rest of the software to be under any other kind of license. Does 
that make sense?
